| Good or Bad to mount ESC inside electrical box.?
I just purchased a Tekin FXR, & in the process of mounting it, it fits well inside my electrical box since the FXR is small, I would have my receiver inside as well traxxis link 2.4 ghz. Will their be any problem with heat

I run my scaler ESC's inside sealed plastic boxes for waterproofing. I have not had any problems from overheating over the years. Only from leaking boxes. |

Sounds like a 6 cell NiMH pack? You should be OK with that load & input voltage with everything in a box. | |

You'll be fine. Crawlers don't get nearly as hot as the go fast RCs. |
